Here’s a Treat for Mom on Mother’s Day: A Second Home on Pemaquid Point, Maine

Give her one acre and 4200 square feet of living space, where she can go blackberry picking anytime — well, except in winter — or walk-out of the basement right to 230 feet of deep, bold ocean frontage with beautiful rock ledges that enable fishing for mackerel, blues and stripers, just steps from your door! (Fish every night for dinner!) Spacious open floor plan and spectacular panoramic sunset/water views from every room: 2+ bedrooms; 3.5 baths; 17’ windows and 20’+ ceilings in great/dining room; radiant heat; low-voltage lighting; computer and home theatre wiring. The gourmet kitchen with soapstone counters gets morning and afternoon sun, cherry custom cabinetry and maple staircases, balcony; bamboo, tile and polished concrete floors — makes sweeping the floors seem like being on a boat! Charming stone walls, patio, cottage gardens, birch trees & blackberries galore! 2-story, 2-car garage/shop heated and wired for large tools – maybe we’ll hold this one for Father’s Day! Quiet neighborhood, private drive. Walk to museums, restaurants and the lighthouse. Make this a second home, it may well end up being your ONLY home. Has been reduced to $1,490,000 for premier Maine waterfront… I want to go to sleep at night listening to the surf crashing!
